if you are going to watch the Wallender series on tv watch the swedish version its brilliant much better than the BBC one. I love Andre Camilleri's Inspector Montalbano he is great,H lovely talks about food and crime always makes me hungry. has anyone seen the series it was on tv a couple of years ago and i have been desperately trying to get a copy :Italian with subtitles.
Apart from that the trad brit crime bools Christie, Conan Doyle..all fantastic every time

i think i have read most of the Chritine feehan Dark series, they are ok a lot of sex but not out of place, it runs along the theme of a race of others 'carpathians' who turn into vampires (that is the males do) if they don't find their life mates. If i were you i would read one and see if you like them although be warned they do get a bit samey after a while. I prefer Kresley Cole or JR Ward myself.

i have to agree with pevious post read the timothy Zahn trilogy a few years ago when they were lent to me by a friend and they were great, highly recommended.

well for the epic fantasy its got to be LOTR for me, but i do like Neil Gaiman and loved the Dark Materials too, does anyone remember Mordants Need by Sephen Donaldson he of the Thomas Covenant they were a couple of really good fantasy books and unlike some authors didn't go to 6-7 in the series..

i read a few a couple of years ago, thought they were good, but at the end there seemed to be some resolution then he would bring out another book, why? it just got boring and i gave up on them, so now i know there are what 9 in the series, i really won't bother i think.

i have now read all three of the books and i wasn't dissapointed by any of them, its a shame that Stieg Larsson won't be around to write anymore..
do you know who they are thinking of casting in the film, it could ruin it so badly if miscast?

i have listened to loads of audio books and it does depend on the narrator and how suitable they are to the book. i have loved some of the full cast dramatisations of some books, like the BBC's Dark Materials trilogy, and the dramatisation of Paul Temple by Francis Durbridge. i did get the first of the Lord of the Rings unabridged 40hrs or so (a few too many) which i didn't enjoy as much. but for those who have never tried to put one on snooze, whilst lying in bed is the closest you can get to reading with your eyes shut ( an ambition of mine)..anyway if your not sure check some out of the library as they do have a good selection and you can save some money as they do tend to be quite expensive.

Like a couple of others i loved to read from an early age, both my dad and my grandad read books to us and i have fond memories of my dad voices for 'the wind in the Willows' and 'Winnie the Pooh' and my grandad Kiplings 'Just So Stories'..my mum did try to read to me, but unfortunately i did rather cruelly tell at a very young age that i would read for myself thanks..in hindsight her English was much better than my Spanish ever was.
